Hi everyone,
I am new to boxer world and was hoping that some of you may be able to shed some light on a problem my 14mth old male boxer (Judah) is having. He has recently been diagnosed by our vet with hip problems that require him to be treated with an injection of cartrophen. he had one last week and another yesterday. He is due to go back to the vet next week for another. Now the problem is he has started going down on all fours really low to the ground and clicking or grinding his jaw, it happened fairly regularly last week and he was most uncomfortable. The vet took blood tests etc and nothing seems abnormal. It is almost like he is having some sort of mini seizure but it lasts about 3 seconds and is all over till next time. He had a similar thing twice when he was a young pup except he actually had a fit after he was grinding his jaw. He has not had another fit so to speak since that time (8mths ago). Can anyone help me please, I am most distressed!
